About

Katie Revilla is a sculptor and installation artist with a focus in textiles. Her work addresses the relationship between bodies and how structures conceptualize ideas of holding, conforming, and constraining in order to retain power. She examines the multiple structures that fabric maintains on a physical level, such as weaving, mending, and wearing, along with its inherent social status and ideas of labor and production. She completed her B.A. in Art Practice at the University of California, Berkeley in 2017 with Honors. There she received the Lauren Krikorian Award and a Certificate of Excellence in Sculpture.
